hi,
we should create and deploy reports for a WPF application. The app is developed in VS 2013, following the MVVM pattern and using Oracle DB.
We are newbie with this matter, so we are searching the best approach to accomplish the job. Our goal would be detach reports from the deployment package and store them to a server folder, so that users can run them by editing something like:http://myserver/myapp/reports/[reportname]
The issue we are experiencing is that reports seem to be launch from the user's computer, and need a Oracle Client installed on each client computer to load data, while the application works with no Oracle Client installed. We tried both Crystal Reports and Report Viewer, and installed an Oracle Client on the report server; but we could not get them to work. we also tried to install ReportViewer Reporting Service, but we dont know how it works. notice that company policies forbid installing Oracle Client in the client computers.
Can anybody give us some hint on what is the correct approach to solve our problem? thanks
